🌈 Understanding Sensory Needs: A Workshop You Can Watch Anytime

For many neurodivergent individuals, the world can feel too loud, too bright, too fast—or not stimulating enough. These experiences often relate to sensory processing differences, which affect how a person receives and responds to sensory input.

At NEST, we know how important it is to understand these sensory needs—not just to support regulation and wellbeing, but to create environments where neurodivergent people can truly thrive.

That’s why we’ve created a free, pre-recorded workshop: Sensory Needs - available now to watch whenever it suits you.

👂 What’s Covered in the Workshop?

In this session, you’ll learn:

• What sensory processing is and how it works

• Why sensory processing differences are so common among neurodivergent individuals

• The eight sensory systems (not just five!)

• Real-life examples of sensory challenges and strengths

• Practical strategies for supporting sensory regulation

This workshop is perfect for parents, carers, professionals, and anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of neurodiversity and sensory needs.

💙 Why It Matters

Sensory processing differences aren’t “bad behaviour” or “overreactions”—they’re real, lived experiences. When we take time to learn about sensory needs, we build more inclusive, compassionate spaces for everyone.

Let’s keep growing our understanding, one step at a time.
